    RV College of Architecture Placement

    The placements for Architecture students is relatively low. Most of the students would search for internships with existing architects and Architecture companies. The internship maybe a few months to a year or two. This internship may be mostly without any payment or salary. After gaining a good experience in the real world, the student may then approach for a job with the same company or may begin their own venture. Thus, for architects, the real world is more of a practice rather than a job. Architects may approach the hospitality industries in conceptualization departments.
